And I love hearing what you guys have to say about the show. Thank you so much for your support. Time to dive in. So did you set a resolution this year? I've been known to set resolutions from time to time because other people were doing it. But what really works for me. And what I believe in is goals. Goals I can stick to. Goals I can create a plan around. So why was I setting resolutions and failing? I was moving with the crowd. Everyone else is making a resolution. It seems like a cool idea. Why not? In hindsight, I see how a cool idea or a trend is not going to get me very far. I would choose a resolutions like losing weight, reading every night or going for a walk every day. What's crazy is that research shows that 23% of people quit their resolutions by the first week. And 43% quit by the end of January. I think the failure part. Is because resolutions are not goals. But here's one surprising thing I discovered. Research says when you set goals out of obligation or pressure, you are less likely to achieve those goals. That's right. Because according to the research goals are more attainable when they excite you and they are deeply personal. That means. The more intentional, thoughtful, and purposeful our goals are the more likely we are to achieve them. When I examine my past, that was absolutely true. The more personal a goal was to me, it always beat out any time I set a resolution on a whim. One year I thought about what was most important to me at the time was having more fun. I had just gotten out of a five-year relationship. There was a lot of monotony. We weren't traveling. And I really needed to have more fun. So I set a goal. Uh, of going to 10 concerts, comedy shows or trips, bigger, small. That goal I achieved. I live with intention. And I set goals and make plans with intention. And I want the same for you. The secret that all high income earners all have is that their big vision is deeply tied to their purpose. They don't just want a six or seven or eight figure income. Number one, they want to make a difference. And number two, they understand their personal definition of success. And their purpose fuels them. So instead of your six-figure income goal, what is your impact goal? That is a great way to reframe it. So tell me in the episode comments. What does intention mean to you? And what does it mean to live with intention? For me. Intention is. Impact. Intention is art. An overall intention is the quest to live a deeply purposeful and meaningful life. So I wrote down my personal definition of living with intention. It's. For me, living with intention means making deliberate, conscious choices to align your actions with your core beliefs, values, and priorities. It involves taking responsibility for your life, thoughts, and actions in order to create a life that reflects your vision. I also looked for a more public definition of living with intention. And unfuck your brain.com says, living with intention requires small shifts, reflection, and consistent conscious choices to lead a life that is in line with your needs, goals, and desires. We are almost to the part where I'm going to share with you five questions that can help you unlock a life with more intention. But before we get there, I want to share a personal story of how the day to day hustle and grind or how society can pull you away from your intention. So at the start of the new year, this year, I started out one week late because I was healing from some pretty rough migraines. One of my biggest values in life is freedom. Freedom of choices, freedom to make the decisions and design my life completely. That's why I started my own business in 2017. Creating a business meant I could call my own shots. And never compromise my health, working for the man. So why the hell would I succumb to the pressures of the clock changing to 2024. When I am a goal's girl in the first place. I use the delay on my new year to get even more intentional about my goals. I made healthy choices for my body. Like getting my meds squared away, lining up medical appointments. And I even got a few massages on the calendar AAO. I got intentional about my personal goals. And I sat down to my business with intention. And although I did feel the pressure and the pull. I skipped recording the podcast for the first two weeks. And here's why. I am never going to jump on the mic for the sake of just publishing an episode. I am only recording if I feel like I can bring something valuable to you. Even though that meant the first episode of the year, wouldn't reach you until week three. And wow. That felt pretty scary. I'm not kidding. It's a weekly show and I hadn't published an episode in three weeks. I was thinking, oh my God. Well, my listeners un subscribe. Well, they think I've abandoned them. I was able to grasp perspective when I zoomed out and looked at the big picture. I said, okay. We just had a holiday break. My loyal listeners, aren't going anywhere. And waiting one more week isn't going to affect the show long term. The intention I put into the show will be worth it. And that's always the case with intention, isn't it? Because I know you'd rather wait for good art. Intention is impact. Here's what we both can take away from that story. Or at least I have realized any downtime I have used to point my compass and the right direction is never time wasted. Because if you're accelerating down the highway at 100 miles per hour, It may feel exhilarating, like you're making a lot of progress. But if you're going in the wrong direction, You might not realize it until you get to the destination. And a lot of time has passed. So honor that self-reflection. And invest the time in yourself. Make sure you're steering the car where you want it to go. And we're going to do that right now together with five questions to help you live with intention and create a life you love. Number one. What area of your life have you been simply going through the motions? Number two. Is there anything you've been doing out of obligation or pressure? Number three. What specific areas of your life do you want to become more intentional about. Number four. How would being more intentional change the way you approach your day and feel throughout the day? Number five. How can you align your goals to what really matters to you? I would love to hear your thoughts on the episode in the episode comments on Spotify, YouTube. Tell me what's on your heart.
